The Samsung Galaxy Fold has a durability problem

Reviewers and analysts from CNBC, Bloomberg, The Verge, Android Central and YouTube tweeted about their experience after one and two days with the phone.

In some but not all cases, Samsung has already replaced the broken review units. If problems persist, it may run into its other dilemma: a shortage of Fold units.

Not everyone we talked to has had a problem with the Samsung Galaxy Fold screen, so we wouldn’t call this widespread. But, again, it’s been two days it’s very early.

The biggest take away for soon to be Fold owners is this: don’t remove what looks to be protective plastic film on the screen. It’s actually supposed to be there, as some people have found out the hard way that doing so may break the display.

The official Samsung Galaxy Fold launch is April 26 in the US and May 3 in the UK and Europe. There’s not much time to correct the issue if it becomes more pervasive.

There are at least two good things for people who pre-ordered. Samsung is offering a one-year warranty in most markets when you purchase the Fold.
